Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet traded in stillsuits for matching pastel coveralls to promote Dune: Part Two in South Korea.

The pair wore the same leather coveralls in different colors: salmon pink for Zendaya and a dusty light blue for Chalamet. The co-stars served coordinated looks for the entire press run, but this is the first time Chalamet wormed his way into a fully-matching outfit — and fan reactions spiced up the timeline.

Dune heads compared the duo to Barbie and Ken, fraternal twins, and Lola and Bugs Bunny.

The outfits inspired plenty of jokes as well. One X / Twitter user wrote, "these gender reveals are getting out of hand." Another said, "paul & chani modeling the latest in korean stillsuits."

Zendaya and Chalamet posed with their co-star Austin Butler, who wore a blue suit that complemented Chalamet's coveralls, which spurred a stream of comments about Butler being left out from the fun. One fan posted, "they should have told austin too omg." Another said, "someone didn't read the group chat."

Some fans spun the narrative that Chalamet begged to match with Zendaya because he's such a big fan of her immaculate style. Others posited it was a reaction to all eyes being on Zendaya in robotic, archival Mugler at the London premiere. Whatever the backstory may be, they sure are fun to look at.

Dune: Part Two hits theaters March 1.
